Description

Background of the invention

The invention relates to bags and luggage products, in particular relates to the lining material of bags and luggage and processing method.

With current technology level, the lining material of bags and luggage is generally a single layer of fabric which has defects of: easily polluted and bacteria-harbored fabric surface in course of time; inconvenient for cleaning and washing; and invisibility of objects in the bag and luggage.

Brief summary of the invention

The invention aims to provide a lining material for bags and luggage and processing method, which is featured with antibiotic characteristic and easy to find objects in bags and luggages.

It provides a processing method of lining material of bags and luggages comprising: preparing a fabric; bonding the lightguide fiber on the fabric surface; coating a fluorescent layer on the fabric surface with lightguide fiber; setting a nano-antibiotic silicone layer on the fluorescent; setting the LED luminous tube and driving power at the end of the lightguide fiber.

A processing method as claimed, wherein the nano-antibiotic silicone may be formed on the surface of the fluorescent layer through molding according to the size of luggage interior. Whereby the thickness of nano-antibiotic silicone should be between 0.2-1 mm.

A processing method as claimed, wherein the nano-antibiotic silicone should be processed with proportion of silicone 92%, antibacterial and antifungal agent 2%, nano silver-ion inorganic agent 3%, crosslinking agent 3%. Whereby put the crosslinking agent into high tear resistance fumed silicone and mix for 5 minutes in open mill at normal temperature to form sheet shape where outputs biopolymer; wherein the antibacterial and antifungal agent and nano silver-ion inorganic agent intensively mixed as proportioned produces binary mixtures; whereby evenly add the binary mixture into biopolymer of sheet shape and roll the biopolymer containing binary mixture into multilayer cylinder shape which is closed at both ends and squashed by roller; whereby put the squashed biopolymer into the open miller, heat up to 45° C. and mix for 8 minutes. During the mixing, new polymer is produced after 8 minutes of chemical reaction among macromolecular of quaternary, which is the basic maternal after the changing of chemical properties of silicone and before the production of new material; whereby weigh and slice the polymer according to the capacity of product mold. Heat up the flat vulcanizing machine to 150° C. and set the chemical reaction time of the machine to 4 minutes before adding the sliced and weighed polymer into the product mold to start the vulcanization; whereby the macromolecular of polymer in the machine produce chemical reaction through pressure, temperature and time element, whereafter 4 minutes of colliding, fission and fusion, it produces sheet material of antibacterial silica gel of nano-silver silicone after cooling down and removing from the mold.

A lining material of bags and luggage as claimed, comprising several layers of materials, which includes the fabric layer; the lightguide fiber bonding on the surface of the fabric; the fluorescent layer set on the fabric surface; the nano antibiotic silicone set on the surface of fluorescent layer.

A lining material of bags and luggage as claimed comprising LED luminous tube and driving power at the ends of lightguide fiber.

The invention is a new type of material to replace traditional lining material of bags and luggages which comprises three layers, the first layer of the lining material is a nano silicone layer, the second the fluorescent layer, the third the fabric, a lightguide fiber between the second and third layer, LED luminous tube at the initial end of the lightguide fiber, which to light the luggage interior with the guiding characteristic of fiber by lighting up the LED.

The invention has advantages of: the first layer of nano-silicone inhibits bacterial growth and serves as traditional lining fabric which can be pulled out of bag and luggage when cleaning is needed due to the characteristics of silicone. Besides, the applying silicone interior is waterproofing. The silicone lining with waterproofing make it possible to wash the interior of bag and luggage, even liquid leakage will not pollute the external leather material. The second fluorescent layer of the lining lighting up the interior of bag and luggage without lighting source improves the grade of bag and luggage and represent technology. The molding silicone lining on the fabric surface to be customed according to the size of bag and luggage improves production efficiency only by leaving the same sewing amount of external leather to external fabric. The third fabric layer serves to bond the external leather layer.
